Gaza government says Israel returned 47 exhumed bodies

Gaza’s Hamas-run government media office said on Thursday that Israel had returned dozens of bodies that had been exhumed from graves in the besieged territory in recent weeks.

The bodies were reburied on Thursday afternoon in the beach area near the southern Gaza Strip city of Rafah.

Men in white hazmat suits aligned the bodies wrapped in blue plastic sheeting at the bottom of a trench, before a bulldozer covered them in sand as dozens of mourners looked on, an AFP correspondent reported.
